It’s no surprise, really. After all, gaming is in ASUS’ DNA, what with its Republic of Gamers or ROG brand. If there’s one company that can and should release a device like that, it is ASUS.

Today, it’s confirmed that the Taiwanese manufacturer already told its investors that it will launch the ASUS ROG Phone at Computex, a computer expo that’s held annually in Taipei, Taiwan. The announcement happened during its quarterly conference.

What can be clearer than that? Our screenshot of ASUS’ presentation. Check out the second-to-the-last slide.

Computex 2018 will be held from June 5 to June 9. According to this microsite, the ASUS press conference will kick off at 6:30 p.m. (Taiwan time, which is the same as Philippine time) on June 4, so we bet the ASUS ROG Phone launch will happen on that day.

What is the ASUS ROG Phone like? How does it look? Does it have RGB lighting like the Nubia model? Is it be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor like those from Razer and Xiaomi-backed Black Shark? Does it support a refresh rate of 120Hz just like the Razer Phone? How much will it cost? More importantly, will it be released in the Philippines?
